90 minutes from Melbourne is the old world of Ballarat. Renowned Sovereign Hill, a recreated gold mining town will take you back to the era of 1850’s and the Eureka Stockade.

Pan for gold, tour the underground mines, shop in the Olde World and experience life of colonial Australian first hand.

Then step back further in time to Medieval England – Kryal Castle has daily events of jousting, public floggings and general life experiences of this gone by era.

Allow 90 minutes drive from the CBD to arrive at your destination- a full day is required to see Sovereign Hill, the Ballarat and Kryal Castle. Part day tours can cover highlights of the township.
